What is the question that Einstein wasn’t able to answer asked by an Indian? Let’s find out

Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist of German origin who is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing relativity theory. Here is a story of an Indian who tricked Albert Einstein.

The question that Einstein wasn’t able to answer asked by an Indian

When Albert Einstein was sitting next to an Indian man on a flight, Einstein told him that he was a great German scientist. Einstein makes a wager with him: “I will ask you a question, and if you are unable to answer it, you will give me $5; then you will ask me a question, and if I am unable to answer, you will give me $500. “The man thinks 5$:500$ is a good ratio, so he says yes.

Einstein asks how far the Earth is from the Moon. The man hands him $5 and says, “I don’t know.” It is now the Indian man’s turn to question Einstein. “What animal goes up a mountain with three legs and comes down with four?” he asks. Einstein thinks and thinks before handing over $500 to the man. The man took 500 dollars and went to bed.

Einstein was so irritated that he woke up the man and said, “Hey, I gave you $500, and just tell me which animal goes up a mountain with three legs and comes down with four?” The Indian man gives Einstein another $5 and says, “I’m not sure.”
